Definitions
- the present invention relates to a reproducible method for preparing the amorphous form of atorvastatin calcium salt, in such a way as to be easily filtered, and with a purity superior to the initial crystalline form.
- Atorvastatin is a well known active pharmaceutical principle widely used for the treatment of diseases caused by hypercholesterolaemia.
- US4681893, US5273995, US6121461 , US5969156 refer to the preparation of the product both in amorphous and crystalline form. While the production of a composition with a well defined crystalline form can in many cases be advantageous from the point of view of stability and from the point of view of the dosage of the active principle in the pharmaceutical formulation, in some cases this can give rise to water solubility and bioavailability differences. This is the case with atorvastatin where the corresponding amorphous form demonstrates superior characteristics of water solubility and bioavailability than the corresponding crystalline form.
- the known processes for producing atorvastatin in amorphous form present problems due to the poor reproducibility and/or poor workability of the product or are not suitable for scale up to industrial production.
- WO0128999 describes the preparation of amorphous atorvastatin by precipitating the product from solutions of atorvastatin calcium salt in lower alkanols. In this case enormous quantities of alcohols are necessary to obtain the desired product.
- atorvastatin calcium salt can be produced in amorphous form, by a method that does not present the inconveniences of the state of the art.
- the process of the present invention comprises: a)dissolving the atorvastatin calcium salt in an organic solvent miscible with water, b) gradually adding said solution to water while stirring, c) filtering and vacuum drying the solid obtained.
- Figure 1 shows the x-ray diffraction spectrum of the amorphous atorvastatin prepared as described in example 1.
- the atorvastatin used as starting material can be either crystalline or amorphous.
- the atorvastatin used in stage (a) of the process of the present invention can therefore be crystalline atorvastatin of form (I), (II) and (IV) as described in US5969156 form (III) as described in US6121461 or the amorphous form derived from the reaction described in US5273995.
- the water miscible solvent is preferably chosen from: tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulphoxide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, sulfolane.
- the additional advantage of this method is that the product obtained, whose amorphous nature is confirmed by the relative x-ray diffraction spectrum, has a higher purity than the starting product.
- the atorvastatin calcium salt is dissolved in a quantity of organic solvent between 0.5 and 20, more preferably between 1 and 10 and even more preferably between 1 and 5 n l/gram of the atorvastatin calcium salt in crystalline form.
- the amount of water, to which the atorvastatin in organic solvent is slowly added is preferably between 5 and 100, more preferably between 10 and 50, and even more preferably between 10 and 30 ml/gram of atorvastatin calcium salt in crystalline form.
- the temperature of the constantly stirred water is between 5 and 40°C, preferably between 10 and 30°C.
- the water soluble organic solvent is tetrahydrofuran.
- the mixture is stirred for a period of time between 0.5 and 5 hours, preferably between 1 .and 3 hours and even more preferably between 2 and 3 hours at a temperature of between 5 and 40°C and preferably between 10 and 30°C, after which the suspension is filtered and the solid washed with water.
- a further advantage of this method lies in the good filterability of the solid obtained due to the addition of the organic solution to the water. Indeed the addition of water to the organic solution results in the formation of gummy masses which cannot be filtered or stirred.
- Figure 1 shows the x-ray diffraction spectrum of the atorvastatin calcium salt in amorphous form thus obtained, a spectrum which is entirely in accordance with those already reported in the literature for such a product.
- EXAMPLE 2 shows the x-ray diffraction spectrum of the atorvastatin calcium salt in amorphous form thus obtained, a spectrum which is entirely in accordance with those already reported in the literature for such a product.
- a 500 ml reactor equipped with mechanical stirrer and dropping funnel is filled with 200 ml of deionized water, maintained at 22-25°C.
- 20g of crude amorphous atorvastatin calcium salt derived from the reaction mixture of the process described in US5273995 are dissolved in 30 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide and loaded into the dropping funnel.
- the organic solution is then slowly dripped onto the water and a white solid is formed.
- the mixture is stirred for about 1 hour at 22-25°C and is then cooled to 10°C and maintained at that temperature for 1 hour.
